We have received cases in the past that stem out of clients not knowing how to dispose of controlled substances safely. The DEA National Takeback day is a great way to do so especially since no personal information is collected. It is this Saturday.

Make sure you read the original post and understand what is accepted.

💊💊 DRUG TAKE BACK DAY 💊💊

This year’s NDTB Day will be held THIS Saturday, April 25th from 10:00 am – 2:00 PM.

We will have 2 locations to serve our community: CCSO D2 Office in Fort White and Cheek and Scott at US-90W/NW Turner Ave. Both locations will be manned by CCSO deputies. (Addresses on flyer)

Through a nationwide partnership with law enforcement, NDTB Day works to keep our homes safe by removing unused and dangerous medications from medicine cabinets. On this day, the public can surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical substances to law enforcement for safe destruction. This effort aims to reduce the risk of drug abuse and raise national awareness about medication safety.

**What We Accept**
• Prescription (Rx) and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including veterinary drugs, are all welcome — the species of the patient doesn't matter
• Medications may remain in their original containers — no need to separate drugs from vials; both plastic and glass containers are accepted
• Pre-loaded syringes are accepted only if the needle has been removed by the patient; Epi-Pens are accepted since their needles are sheathed
• Medications dispensed to nursing home residents may be accepted, as those medications are the personal property of the patient

**What We Do NOT Accept**
• No needles of any kind
• No inhalers or aerosol medications — these can explode during incineration
**Privacy & Anonymity**
• Drop-offs are completely anonymous — drugs will not be counted, inventoried, or logged
• Participants simply drop their container into the collection bag and walk away — no interaction required
• HIPAA does not apply to this program; there is no obligation to remove or alter prescription labels
• However, consumers concerned about privacy are encouraged to remove or deface labels before drop-off
• All materials will be fully incinerated, protecting participant privacy

Please share this post with family and friends to let them know about this date and locations so they can properly discard any of the above type medications.

We still have an open intern position at the Law Offices of Cliff Wilson Jr Public Defender for the 3rd Judicial Circuit. Our intern program is very hands on with real court room experience. Interns are able to attend felony, juvenile, and misdemeanor court. They are able to interview clients in and out of custody, attend depositions, and attend the behind the scenes of trials. If the intern is a CLI they can even have their own caseload under supervision!

We have offices in Live Oak, Lake City, and Perry. The Lake City office is 45 minutes from Gainesville and 1 hour from Jacksonville. The Perry office is 1 hour from Tallahassee.

This is open to 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls. May consider interns starting law school in the Fall of 2026 as well. Please send your resume to [email protected].

Our clients are often dealing with numerous serious life issues in addition to their criminal case. Those issues quite frequently involve health issues. One of the best things we can do is try to take advantage of preventative health opportunities. Tomorrow Mammolink is offering free mammograms in Branford.

To ensure we have the correct information for coverage options, please let us know your insurance provider and policy details:
